Constitutional Law

Media coverage of gun at rally

Michelle Malkin has a post on how the MSNBC story on how the appearance of a fellow outside the Phoenix rally with a rifle had "racial overtones" because it involved a man of color in the presidency and "white people showing up with guns strapped to their waists," and "anger about a black person being president."

As I noted yesterday, the fellow with the rifle was an African-American. Michelle Malkin notes how carefully MSNBC had to cut footage of the fellow to hide this. If the facts don't fit the story line, keep throwing them out until they do.
